  • Using the back of a fork, flatten each cookie slightly and create a crisscross pattern.

  • Allow cookies to cool on the sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack.

Notes

Serve cookies arranged on a decorative plate. They pair well with a glass of milk or a scoop of vanilla ice cream. Add a pinch of salt for flavor enhancement, or mix in chocolate chips for variation.
